| Yum! Her second tooth broke through this week and she has tried it out on a lot of things. She yells and squeals. She says, 'dadadadada' and sucks in air when she's excited. She really scrunches up her nose when she smiles. She had the sacrament for the first time today. | On a side note, we got a new couch. Here in FL they have 'bulk day' every three months. You can put anything out by the curb to be picked up by the waste company or dumpster divers. Somebody put a couch out by the curb. It was getting rained on but I loved the shape. It was green velvet but the legs and back were so pretty on it. I couldn't stop thinking about it so I drug Emma over there and we hauled it home and ripped off all the stinky velvet. Then we sprinkled it with baking soda and salt to deodorize it. It worked! But what to cover it with? I read on line about a girl who recovered her couch by buying 22 yards of fabric, washing and ironing it and painstakingly reconstructing all of the cushion pieces etc... Now I can honestly say that getting to any ironing whatsoever for me takes major effort. I dread ironing my sons church pants and that's ONE yard. So I knew that option was not going to work. AND I'm also not a masochist. So I decided to visit my local Ikea and low and behold, there was a perfect slipcover for $39.00. I snatched it up and viola! A new couch for our kitchen for a cool $40.00. Yes, I am proud of that dumpster diving treasure. PS, I don't know why the blog layout is funky... |

Oh my! Calli sure doesn't look too upset about it, but yikes, that's too bad. Glad it came off of her relatively easy. Your couch looks awesome and the price is right! Well done. :)
Looks like you had a beautiful day at the temple...both inside and out. Never a dull moment at your house. Calli does keep things lively!
The new couch and pillow are cute. It looks like a new rug too--good luck getting the soup out. Calli's the age that you need to watch more closely huh?
